Bacon Brothers, The - Ten Years In Mexico Lyrics

Bacon Brothers, The
Getting There
Ten Years In Mexico
Written by kevin bacon

Tequila smile and a mango kiss
They've never seen rain quite like this
Give the storm a name watch her blow
She's outside with a sweet surprise
You can't stop her when her waters rise
Open up the door let her flow

Chorus
Ten years in mexico
Watch them come and i watch them go
Where the time went i don't know
Life and death joy and tears
Ten years in mexico

I still remember every step so well
Through the graveyard to the cheap hotel
Knowing any moment i might fall
Still a notion in senora's eyes
She sees the ocean and the dragon flies
From the hacienda hear her call

Chorus

I ain't learned much
But i learned that love is all
And i learned to count
To ten en español
Last night i dreamed of ice and sleet
I dreamed of sidewalks underneath my feet
Woke to find my suitcase by the door
I ask the mountains and the cortez sea
How did she come to love a fool like me
But i don't really need the answer any more

Chorus
